Students and Drawing

Yesterday I taught my students the 5 basic shapes of art that you can use to make any picture, hand sketches, western drawing theory, and had them do a still life sketch project.  So today I had my students do portraiture.  I was going to have them draw a partner for 45 minutes and then switch, but they wanted to draw me instead.

So I was like....alright.

And had 33 students drawing me sitting around me in a semi-circle as I sat in the middle.  It was pretty cool though and we'll be fun to grade.

The students are already excellent artists as freshman so some of the pics were very realistic with the shading and detail they put into their portraits.
